Five cases of DID were identified and reviewed to obtain information on obstetric management and maternal\u2013neonatal outcomes. We included eligible twins and triplets. No multiples were excluded. We obtained ethics approval for this case series.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Four sets of dichorionic diamniotic twins and one trichorionic triamniotic triplet were included. Our patients were admitted between 173\/7 and 215\/7 weeks of gestation. We achieved an interval delivery range between 1 and 36 days. Four out of six multiples did not survive in DID. The two surviving newborns were born at 230\/7 and 232\/7, stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 111 and 131 days, discharged with a weight of 3,594 and 2,743\u2009g, respectively. All DID cases were delivered spontaneously except for two patients that required augmentation due to maternal sepsis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Despite the high risk of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality, if delivery of the first twin occurs before 20 gestational weeks, DID could be considered in selected cases to improve outcomes for the cotwin.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1787112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,23]],"date-time":"2024-05-23T23:04:19Z","timestamp":1716505459000},"page":"e156-e161","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Delayed-Interval
